Will I be lost in tech support land forever?

I went to an interview yesterday for a graphic design company. All state of the art equipment, beutifull building, young crowd, power biz types.. all very impressive.

Till they took me out to lunch, I was trying to talk to the creative director and techie gurue (who does everything from whipping out code for customers to drafting new building designs when they move..) Anyway, I pretty much listened politly as the two chatted about work, and generally ignored me, except when I butted in every once and a while to try to get them to talk about what they wanted me for.. Wich pretty much got a shrug since they didn't know what they where looking for, and the techie guy hand't even bothered to look at my resume before the interview. Oh well, at least I got a tour of a pretty cool company, and a free lunch.

I know how you feel man.. I have been trying for two years to get a position in the design field.. nobody will hire me because "I don't have any expierience" but I do have an AA .. guess that doesn't matter.. How is one to get expierience without getting HIRED!

Its a bad double standard but oh well.. I will get by.. I am currently working freelance and trying to get the ever illusive "expierience" that I keep hearing about.. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

It could have been worse. They could have not taken you out to lunch and been very cold and business-like and given you the basic line, "Well, you don't exactly fit the profile of what we are looking for, but we will keep you in mind."
